Emergency drills

Our emergency drills can be divided into four steps:

Step 1: Initial consultation

In our initial meeting, we get to know you and gain an initial overview of the extent to which you are prepared for possible emergencies. We then work out the objectives of the emergency exercise together and agree the next steps with you.

Based on the information gained from the discussion, we will create a customised offer for you, tailored to your needs.

What type of exercise is suitable for you?

• Function test
  A functional test aims to check the technical or operational aspects. For this purpose, specific systems, processes or components are subjected to a test to ensure that they function properly.
• Alarm drill
  The alerting exercise serves to evaluate the effectiveness and accessibility of the communication and alerting channels. The focus is on the triggering, transmission and confirmation of alarms.
• Plan discussion

  In a planning meeting, the participants discuss possible scenarios and procedures based on existing plans. The aim is to identify weaknesses in the concept and promote understanding of the processes.

• Staff exercise
  The staff exercise simulates the cooperation and decision-making of a crisis team under realistic conditions. The focus is on communication, coordination and decision-making processes within the team.

• Framework exercise
  The staff framework exercise extends the staff exercise to include external players and complex scenarios. It tests both internal staff work and coordination with external partners and interfaces.

How would you like to be accompanied?

As a rule, we carry out our emergency drills by hand and on paper. This ensures that no IT systems and/or business processes are exposed to a real risk. However, in consultation with you and depending on your BCM maturity level, we can also plan and conduct emergency drills outside of the manual and paper process.

Step 2: Planning

Once we have clarified the subject of the service, we will start gathering information and planning the emergency exercise. In this step, we refine the scenario in consultation with you.

We will look at your relevant documentation for planning and information procurement.

Step 3: Realisation 

The exercise is supported by multimedia. Our experts lead the exercise and provide assistance if required. We also keep a record of the entire exercise.

Step 4: Evaluation

As part of the personal and collective feedback analysis, the results are discussed with you and presented in a clear report.
